About the event
Please join us for an epic overlanding adventure in Dixie National Forest. We'll be meeting in Ivins, Utah and traveling up into the mountains on Gunlock Reservoir trail, then traversing across numerous trails within this beautiful region of southern Utah. We'll see towering rock spires, flowing creeks and the spring flowers covering the mountains. We will be primitive camping for one night (Saturday) near Enterprise Reservoir, then continuing on more trails the next morning. I have linked several trails you can expect to see over these two days. This route is for all stock type 4x4's with high clearance.
Please see the minimum requirements listed below.
